Warlock ist the one I have encountered the most and it is extremly strong; it is basically impossible to not finish it before Turn 7 with a decent deck list; once Tamsin is down you lost pretty much; nerf suggestion (this will happen): make it a temporary effect (as long as she is on the board)
Mage quest seems fairly strong but do they really need it in wild?
Priest quest is really slow, too slow
Hunter: Did not encounter it yet but seems not that strong in wild
Ahh childhood memories. I loved Lego as a child. Your creation is awesome, really like it. Funnily Blizzard and Lego are pretty much on the same level for me. I really love the product in both cases but hate the company behind it. Lego is greedy as hell, had a couple of quality issues in recent years and at least in my country uses questionable legal practices to strangle the competition and even small distributors. That being said I really like the stuff itself. Also there are less expensive alternatives available now, some of which are fully compatible (COBI, Q-Bricks, etc.).
P.S. You are aware that if you should make it to the 10k supporters and if Lego should actually decide to turn your idea into an actual product, they will pretty much screw you. You will basically have to give up all rights for a meager 1% of net sales. Will vote for you anyways :) Good luck.
Edit: Just realized Ducktales is a license topic. Not sure, but hope that will not be a problem for them
To translate this from corporate gibberish into plain English: Brack was given the opportunity to leave instead of being formally fired and he took it (likely he also received a seizable goodbye package as part of this deal). As a public signal execs then settled for a co-leadership team with a woman on board, who despite being perfectly qualified for this, would probably never have gotten the job under normal Blizzard circumstances.
Hopefully they will not overdo this. I don't really care about Secret Keeper etc. but if you remove any content someone might find inappropriate this will turn nasty.
You need to answer that question for yourself. If you are that appalled by the issue then go for it. Personally I will not boycott HS even though I strongly reject the alleged behavior and culture at Blizzard. I believe there are a lot of good people at Blizzard after all, public and legal pressure will weed out the bad guys I suppose. So hopefully this will be a cathartic moment for them.
Did anybody expect something material from these emails? I bet any communication by Blizz, external or internal, is heavily scrutinized by their legal department first. In the end the courts will decide if it is really only old tales from the past as the second email is implying or not. Nothing more to say until the judgement arrives.
Expect to have to play a lot of games to encounter a fellow Noz player. Last month I threw the towel at some point because I encountered not a single Noz player. Conceding would be an option but that is not my style.
I can understand your sentiment, but I think this is a case of confirmation bias. Blizzard has no motive to rig the MM against you as in a given game there is always one winner and one loser. The issue here in my opinion is as following: The MM matches people with similiar win/loss ratios if possible. At low level this means that I as a pretty experienced Arena player can face a fair amount of less experienced opponents who tend to draft worse and make more mistakes. Once I hit around 5-6 wins this changes as the less experienced players are mostly eliminated by then and leaves me with the good players and the crazy decks. Also the deck quality is significantly up at this point. I hit 7 wins quite regular and at that level you have to expect crazy shit like combos, high value legendaries or perfect counter plays pretty much every game. So nothig special about that. One of my more memorable runs last week ended at around 8 or 9 wins facing a rogue who managed to play no less than three Alex and one Ysera that game (mostly generated via that stupid lackey). But that is only slightly out of the ordinary at that level.
Yeah, so what. Looks neat but that is about it. Call me a cynic but that is just another money grab / woke PR stunt from Blizzard. I could respect it if they would for example donate a small percentage of the proceeds to further an actual queer cause, for example a charity that supports gays in less friendly environments like certain countries where they are harrassed or even killed. I would seriously consider buying it in this case. So it's just another cheap business move to generate revenue and or publicity.
P.S. I am not doubting the sincerity of Blizzard employees like Valentine, I just think it is lame from Blizzard and a missed opportunity.
I use to drop by now and then. Mostly interested in HS news and the occasional MTGA post. I view myself as a rather passive user (a lot of reading and little posting), but that is because I am not that creative and only feel sharing my thoughts if i have the impression of being able to add something to the discussion (which is usually not the case).
1. What is your favourite adventure content? Dungeon Run of course (Kobolds and Catacombs), although Dalaran Heist is a very close second
2. Why is that content your favourite? One word: Replayability. This is what really sets it apart for me escpecially compared to BoH which has zero replay value for me
3. Dungeon Run: Would you like to see new bosses, treasures, and cards? Yeah
Bottom line is that pretty much every previous solo content was better than the current BoH imho
No Nozdormu match for me. Did anyone here actually thought this would work? I was highly suspicious, but I would have at least expected like one game in 15-20 tries or so. But no. Again this is proof, that without incentive people simply do not care. Conclusion is that events without incentive can be scrapped altogether (sad but true).
Already deleted it. I just put in all the required cards plus all the card draw available. The rest was just for fillers. Also I played against Warrior which in my opinion is on of the slower classes, which helps. Btw there should be a few optimized decks around by now, just check this site or another one.
I have the card back now. The Hunter mystery was pretty ridiculous, even with a step by step instruction. Obviously would never have cracked this myself. Huge cheers to the persons who solved it, can't really wrap my head around that.
Even with a step by step guide the hunter one took me like 20 minutes or so (but maybe I am just too old :)).
Not really excited this time to be honest. The whole theme seems a bit off to me (could be a HS expansion) and the cards are pretty meh too. But that is probably just me :) Hope you have fun with the new expansion
Hi there. I am not the thread starter but I can give you an example. Clicking on latest post for Group Therapy in Latest Threads on the homepage leads me to page 37 (latest post would be on page 47). Cheers
Based on my impression so far (WILD perspective):

Hi all. I am not a good deckbuilder but here is my take on a wild UiS OTK Mage. Many thanks to the OoC team and good luck to all!
Complete agreement on this (I work in business myself). Blizz will never do this, their entrire sales model is geared towards limited time offers.
Hopefully they will not overdo this. I don't really care about Secret Keeper etc. but if you remove any content someone might find inappropriate this will turn nasty.

I think this card is more about the mana reduction per step and less about the final reward, which is way too clunky.

Thank you for everything! Not missing a certain other side a bit
